Topics as in:

Underaged SA/rape or ...oddly questionable descriptions

How the women are treated in the story

Writing about the gore

Shock value

Fanbase?

Rape and assault

How certain things are just shrugged off

Just a useless storyline of gore

And etc.

In my opinion it will ALWAYS be certain things being shrugged off, used as shock value or something there to get off to if you're feeling fucked up.

Note: PERSONALLY 😀..... WHAT YOU DISLIKE. NOT WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD FOLLOW...

I've recently found out about miranda grant and She usually labels her books to be "Dark romance" despite the lack of romance with her books that are learning to be more towards transgression than romance. Keeping her under for an example; interesting book... but I'm confused about it being a "romance". Is it the power imbalance?, rape? (if so that's stupid...), paraphilic disorder? or something else I'm not catching up... I understood EVERYTHING about this book but the romance part 😭✌️ (the marketing was funny ASF tho 👀).

This goes for books like the Life of Anna also.

So this leads to the question(s): Does dark romance have to be romantic ?, is dark romance solely on unethical power dynamics?, or is it just a marketing tack...?

The first book was really good with the message BUT I'm not sure about the sequel... I'm a bit iffy about the descriptions, and I'm wondering if the plot would even go anywhere because It kinda seems like shock value the way through. I like two new characters but oh well they're dead ig... Does it get better or should I drop it? (Small spoilers please!)

Mine: miscommunication 👀, pregnancy, and cocky/unreliable MCs, SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW burns and friends to lover/ lovers to enemies.

Both the fans and haters of haunting Adeline are AGONIZING to look from afar..🫩

There both are comparing real world Incidents (not situations) in fiction, the fans are revealing so much about themselves, and the haters are just as annoying. In my opinion and others...MOVIE SHOULDNT BE DROPPED. HAVE THE GRAPHIC NOVEL TO BE FOCUSED ON, PLEASE. this book is a MESS and so is this drama. Fiction is an expression for several things, and not just fantasies. The fans didn't seem to read the shit properly, neither did the haters. But I do understand both of them but c'mon be more logical about their framing of the relationship.

SIDE ARGUMENT: AND HA IS NOT GOT, LIGHTS OUT, 50 SHADES OF GREY AND 360 DAYS. THOSE ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FUCKING MOVIES AND BOOKS. 😤 (I LOVE GOT, OK)

It's honestly going to be extremely messy through the months and the sex scenes would be the main focus at the end of the day (sorry). the haters dislike the book for valid reason I mostly agree on but the creator ISNT a bad person (hell, she's really sweet :3), it's just her writing for people who aren't fond of the treatment of the plot, themes or anything about it. Can we not falsely accuse H.D. she doesn't have anything to do with false allegations that are made up.

And for the fans... I don't know man, I saw one saying ignorant shit, a few are young readers who don't know shit about the entire book (I mean really..) and the hypocrisy is KILLING ME. 💀

And censorship can be a bitch sometimes but maybe listen to what you're saying because censorship plays a big role in the mainstream films. And a movie, and book aren't the same thing, so things aren't going to be in the movie if it's mainstream... A movie adaptation plays fiction into a staged reality, and a book is a freedom of whatever you want in a story. The NSFW scenes are hot, don't get me wrong, but a movie ruins the imagination and secret arousal of it all.

Another SIDE CONVO: I'm not a big fan of dark romances but the majority of arousing scenes, I fw with them, though I'm a huge freak for fucked up books and media. I STRICTLY prefer topics to be taken RAWLY and I don't like certain things romanticized *(buzz word)*.

And lastly, I dislike the majority of the authors books, like the creativity of the relationships, hate the unethical arguments, and LOVE watching a genre I don't read, fight to the death😼
